[View All Articles] Fifth Disease What you need to know: Fifth disease (erythema infectiosum) is a common, mild, childhood illness caused by parvovirus B19. It causes a “slapped-cheek” rash on the face and, less commonly, fever, headache, sore throat and joint pain in children. Infected adults often have joint pain and swelling, and sometimes mild flu-like symptoms, but usually no rash. Women with young children and those who work with them (for example, child care providers and teachers) are at greatest risk of exposure and infection. About 60 percent of adults have had the infection as children and, therefore, are immune as adults. Most unborn babies are unaffected if their mother gets infected. Some unborn babies, however, do become infected. The virus can disrupt the ability to produce red blood cells, leading to a dangerous form of anemia, heart failure and, in about 2-9 percent of fetal infections, death of the unborn child. What you can do: If you are pregnant and unsure of your immune status, you can help protect yourself from infection by:

Prematurity Quick Reference and Fact Sheets Childhood Illnesses in Pregnancy: Chickenpox and Fifth Disease Chickenpox and fifth disease are childhood illnesses that can pose risks to the fetus if a mother contracts them during pregnancy. Fortunately, most fetuses are not harmed by these illnesses. However, a pregnant woman should consult her health care provider if exposed to either of these infections, so that steps to help prevent complications for mother and baby can be taken when necessary. Between 85 and 95 percent of pregnant women are immune to chickenpox, and about 60 percent are immune to fifth disease. If a woman is certain she already has had these illnesses, there is no need to be concerned about them during pregnancy, even if exposed to someone who has one of them. Only women who have never had these infections before are at risk of contracting them. What is chickenpox?

What are the serious complications of fifth disease? ... Fifth Disease At A Glance What is "fifth disease"? Fifth disease is a temporary illness caused by a virus known as parvovirus B 19. Fifth disease (also known as "erythema infectiosum" and "slap cheek") is so named because in the pre-vaccination era, it was frequently the "fifth disease" that a child would develop. About 50% of adults have been infected with the virus but do not remember having it because it often does not cause symptoms. What are the symptoms of fifth disease? Fifth disease generally occurs in children between 5-15 years of age, but can affect any age group, including adults. It most commonly occurs during the winter and spring. The illness begins with a low-grade fever and malaise (a sense of not feeling well). This is followed by a characteristic bright red rash on the cheeks (the so called "slapped cheeks" rash). Finally, a fine, red, lace-like rash can develop over the rest of the body. This rash may last for 5 days to a week and occasionally comes and goes for up to 3 weeks. The other symptoms are usually gone by the time the rash appears.

Fifth disease (Erythema Infectiosum) What is fifth disease? How does the infection start? Can fifth disease be dangerous? What can parents do? What is fifth disease? Fifth disease is an infection of the respiratory system. It is caused by a virus called parvovirus B19. This virus spreads the same way as a cold virus does: on the hands of someone who has the infection; on something that has been touched by someone who has the infection; in the air, after an infected person has breathed or sneezed. Outbreaks of fifth disease can occur in school-age children. There is no vaccine to prevent the infection and no medication to treat it. How does the infection start? The infection starts as a very red rash on the cheeks, making the face look like it has been slapped. One to four days later, a red, lace-like rash appears, first on the arms, and then on the rest of the body. The rash may last from one to three weeks and may be accompanied by fever. The illness is often very mild. Sometimes, the child may not even feel sick. Adults usually get a more severe case, with fever and painful joints. At least 50% of adults have had fifth disease in childhood and will not get it again if exposed to a child with the infection. Can fifth disease be dangerous?
